My 2007 Reading List

Most of you know that I LOVE to read...especially children's lit...especially young adult...so I've compiled a list of what I've read so far this year. Keep in mind that some I read for my own pleasure, some I read to keep up with the industry and others I read with my kids.I have given them all a rating: a 1 for so-bad-it's-almost-not-worth-writing-about to up to a 5 for couldn't-put-it-down-even-when-my-kids-needed-dinner.So here it goes...My 2007 Reading List:The Devil Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger (3)Looking for Alaska by John Greene (3 1/2)Clementine by Sarah Pennypacker (4 1/2)A Northern Light by Jennifer Donnelly (4 1/2)Sabriel by Garth Nix (2)Seeing Emily by Joyce Lee Wong (3 1/2)Rise and Shine by Anna Quindlen (3)Twilight by Stephenie Meyer (5)New Moon by Stephanie Meyer (3)The Invention of Hugo Cabret (4)The Time Traveler's Wife (4)Hattie Big Sky (3)Pucker(3 1/2)Added in May:The Higher Power of Lucky (3)
